Cameron stepped into the cabin. Whenever he meets X, he always used this cabin. Their meetings had to be very discreet because they couldnât let anyone catch them.
Originally, the three of them, including Count Stein, were supposed to meet in the cabin, but Cameron and X decided to meet alone today.
X always comes first. Itâs a small cabin in a remote place, but X was still happy to go.
When Cameron entered the cabin, X was sitting in a comfortable chair, sipping tea. X raised his hand to greet him, which was a somewhat rude gesture when facing an imperial prince.
Cameron would have kicked and punched him if it had been any other time, but this time he extended his hand in the same way to greet X. X raised his shoulders and flashed a smile.
âEverything okay?â
He still cuts his words off as usual. Cameron, on the other hand, made no attempt to point it out.
Recently, Cameron has been in such a great mood that he is not bothered by Xâs rudeness.
It was because he had finally gotten rid of Sofia. Since Demimore and Mary got engaged, Sofia has become more and more obsessed with Cameron.
She would become irate, cry, laugh, and then abruptly beg him. The day he first spoke to Sofia was something Cameron deeply regretted.
Those who knew Sofia as a young girl recalled her as a serene and kind lady.
Cameron was curious about what had happened to her during her growth process that made her change from âa calm and kind ladyâ.
Although X argued that they still needed to use Sofia until the end, he secretly wanted to reject Sophia right away.
âYes. As you said, I told Mary that Sofia hated Astina.â
âOkay. Good.â
X hummed briefly.
Recently, Sofia became concerned after hearing rumors that Cameron might have to be engaged to Astina, so she sought the counsel of an odd witch and cursed Astina.
X would have undoubtedly stepped up if she had asked Baron Bruno, her father.
The curse was deftly executed, but it was impossible to pass through the Marquis Borneau mansion due to increased security following the kidnapping of Astina.
The curse flowed toward the forest where Astina had lived as a child in search of any signs of herself.
The God of X became enraged. It was because it was unknown what effect Sofiaâs awkward curse would have on Mary, who lived in the same orphanage.
âAlthough Estin did get rid of them all.â
The God was glad that Estin was in the forest, but on the other hand, he was quite tired of Estin protecting Mary.
X trembled at the thought that this wretched human being could feel his presence and even look in his direction.
As he was curious about Estin, who was more âhorribleâ than anyone else, X wanted to meet him once.
âBut does Mary really know the future?â
âDid Mary spill that fact?â
âShe knows Demimore and Astina are connected, as you said before.â
It appears that brainwashing through dreams was a success.
Given that X had recently increased the frequency of her dreams, Mary continued to believe that Demimore and Astina would be connected.
His God acted calmly, knowing that it would take a long time, but after Demimore and Mary had their engagement party, he was quite displeased.
He was clearly irritated following the engagement party. Many issues had arisen as a result of their engagement.
âMary, Did she really know what would happen in the future thatâs why he gave Demimore the LaminaichoâŠâŠ.â
More than anyone else, Cameron was aware that his mother was responsible for the poisoning.
In order to conceal the poison, his mother cunningly forbade the woman from using silverware.
His mother worked very hard to kill the woman. But Mary turned it into nothingness in an instant.
âShe intends to elevate Demimore to the throne by taking advantage of the future that she is familiar with.â
âUgh, really?â
X, who was listening to Cameron talking to himself, incited his anger. As X, who was just borrowing human skin, found human affairs interesting.
âLetâs take everything away from Demimore, one by one. Starting with Astina.â
X, who was listening to Cameronâs aspirations with a strange expression, bumped his right fist into his left palm and made a sound. Cameron looked at X as if he was wondering what was going on.
âWe must reveal that Sofia cursed Astina.â
âHow do we make that known?â
âYou can search the mansion. There is probably still some evidence.â
X was already searching for the witch Sophia had visited. In no time, the witch could be called a witness.
But he didnât bother to bring it up with Cameron. Why? Since it was entertaining to see Cameron suffer.
âOkay. And then what?â
âWe have to send her away.â
âWhere?â
âThe coldest place on the continent.â
Nicor.
Prisoners were occasionally exiled to Nicor by the empire, but in reality, doing so was the same as putting them to death.
Unless itâs a serious crime, they wonât be sent to Nicor.âŠ.
The question is, does putting a curse on Astina enough for Sofia to be sent to Nicor.
X tried to reassure him and spoke up in a loud voice.
âBut isnât Astina the princeâs woman? A curse was put on her so isnât that enough reason?â
âButâŠâ
âOh, you care about Sofia more than Astina.â
âItâs not like that!â
âWell, we canât help it. So, does that mean youâll just marry Sofia, and Demimore and Astina will end up like the future that Mary knows?â
âI get it! Iâll send her to Nicor!â
Without Cameron knowing, X, who had finally received a definitive response from Cameron, sighed in relief.
âThat bad guy still possesses a trace of humanity. Nevertheless, itâs problematic.â
Sofia has to take the route of âMaryâ which Mary believes in. This will allow for the birth of a strong âMary-likeâ figure.
X relaxedly laughed as he raised his teacup once more, happy with how well everything was going.
Ah, if things have come this far, then his Godâs annoyance will probably lessen somewhat. Having Cameron on the side was a really smart move.
âBut why would Mary make her fiance the Emperor and then give him to Astina?â
âWell, maybe she doesnât like you, so she doesnât want you to become the emperor.â
âIs that true?â
âIâm just joking, no. But there is no stopping it. Mary and Demimore wonât get along. She has a different partner.â
Who cares about the Emperor of the Empire anyway?
When God loves her.
It was truly intense and long-lasting love. The saintâs second life began on Earth as Ha So-hee, which infuriated the god of death, but he knew he would return to this place eventually.
And when he learned that she would begin a new life as Mary Conler after finishing her unhappy life as Ha Sohee, he manipulated her memories to make her remember her past as Ha Sohee.
If things had gone according to his Godâs plan, Mary would have fled from her family.
âWell, itâs better this way.â
Cameron believed Mary intended to make Demimore Emperor. He wasnât entirely wrong.
Although it was regrettable that Sofia would be sent to Nicor rather than Demimore, it wouldnât matter because Demimore and Cameron shared the same blood.
âOh, Iâve heard a lot from Mill.â
He remembered Miller Bruno, who was excited to turn his daughter into a princess without knowing anything and beat Grand Duke Estin, X, who is imitating humans, also felt a little emotional. But what can he do?
Wasnât Sophia Bruno also a life that was sustained by her auntâs life?
âX, promise me.â
âWhat?â
Xâs words got shorter again, but Cameron didnât seem to care.
âI will be the emperor of Britina Empire.â
Cameronâs face was rather grim. X, who was looking at Cameron, smiled and nodded roughly.
Cameron, however, appeared to be content. He S appeared to regard X as her own dependable subordinate. If Count Stein is Cameronâs right hand, X is his left arm.
He felt sorry for Cameron, who is obsessed with his ambition, but X actually had no interest in who was on the throne.
He just wants to enjoy it while he can because if Mary enters the underworld, he wonât have to get involved in human affairs again.
âArenât I going to clean up the Grand Duchy that bothers you so much?â
âYeah, I really want to believe that, but even I think the Grand Duke is a monster, so how the hell are you going to clean it up?â
âTrust me.â
X only murmured to himself.
âBehold, something interesting is about to bloom on this continent.â
